Sony is one of the most trusted, highest quality brands available to anyone. Their designs (ranging from televisions to cameras and yes, laptops) are expensive, but the cliche 'You get what you pay for' has never fitted so well. When choosing to buy a Sony Vaio, it's important that you consider a few things.
-Do you really want a laptop?
So many people (myself included) browse eBay searching for a brilliant Vaio. What a lot of us fail to take into consideration is what a notebook really is for. Never will it replace your desktop (Unless, you don't expect it to be portable, or don't expect a long battery life). The few desktop replacement Vaios out there are heavy, and short on battery life. They are also a great deal more expensive than a normal desktop. The only saving grace of these notebooks is the size taken up on desk, and the style (wow factor).
If you want a Sony Vaio for intensive gaming, in-depth video editing or something processor heavy, you can forget any chances of portability. While some notebooks in the Sony range will allow you to play most of the latest games (at lower details), it'll chew up battery life very quickly. Video editing will also be a slow and laborious task, I use my Vaio for the simply 'dump and burn', where I dump footage, cut out the bits I don't want, and burn it, no special effects added.
- What Vaio do you want?
Unfortunately, with most notebooks you can't get two of the criteria listed at once. The Vaios that can do this will either suffer some other problem in one of the other criteria, or will be ridiculously expensive.
